GOLD QUARTZ MINES.

Mining in auriferous quartz in California
mas been a tickle business, comforting large
fortunes on a few, and inflictipg serious
losses on many. The majority OF mills
have been Improbable investments, IN
most cases put up to sell mines, by specu-
lators, and most of the mines which have
been worked at various times since 1851,
when quartz mining began on the western
slope of the Sierra Nevada, are now aban-
doned. Only one prominent mine in the
State has been worked continuously for
twenty-five years, and that is the Sierra
Buttes. There are perhaps from 100 to $50
gold quartz mines that are now worked
with q profit in California. In 1881, only
twelve belonging to incorporated compa-
MES paid dividends. Of these, the most
profitable was the Standard Consolidated,
of Bodie, east of the Sierra Nevadas, in
Mono county the amount distributed
among the stockholders in the year being
S975,000. In the three years end
ing February /, 1882 the divi-
bends amounted to $2,475,0O0, and the
gross yield was $5500,0o0. Next in
value to the Standard is the Idaho, OF
Grass Valley, Nevada county. In 1881 it
paid $3.50, 900 in dividends. The mine was
opened in 1869, and at the end of 1881 had
yielded about $4,000, 600 gross and So, 100-
900 in dividends. The figures since that
date are not at hand, but the mine has
ever been valuable property. The Idaho
is working pay chute which, nearer the
surface, was in possession OF the Grass
Valley Eureka Company, which, between
1865 and 1877, obtained $4,600000 gross
and 50, 134, 600 net. This ore body has,
therefore, in seventeen years, or up to 1881,
paid 81, 100000 gross and S., 100000 net.
Since that date the mines have paid large
amounts in dividends, and still are worked
with handsome profits. 1t is said that the
Haywards mine, at Sutter Creek, produced
81 100000 gross; the Massachusetts,. of
Nevada City, $5,6o0,OO0 the Gold Hill, of
Nevada City, $4,000 600; the Keystone, OF
Suffer Creek, s2,000000 the Oneida, OF
Suffer Creek, 81 100000; the Black Rear
mine, in Siskiyou, $4,000 900, and various
other mines in Amador, Ei Dorado, Placer
and Nevada counties from $50o,000 to
81, 100000. The aUriferous lodes are numer-
Gus in California, and are the main hope
for the future gold-production of the State.

The Secretary of the Treasury has called
in the balance of the three per cent. bonds,
so that the government has paid the last
dollar Of the public debt, virtually, for Sc
veral years must yet elapse before another
call can be made or before the bonds will
mature. In the meantime the uDcalled for
and excessive taxation which our last con-
gress refused or neglected TO remedy will
withdraw from ciruation and pour into the
treasury enormous sums for which no re-
the four years which must elapse prior to
the maturing of the balance of the three
per cent. bonds that the accumulations in
the treasury vaults will reach $3.50, 900, 600.
The effect of withdrawing so large an
amount from circulation will produce its
effects upon the legitimate business inter.
ests of the country --stagnatng and demor-
alizing the same. The only way to prevent
such condition Of affairs is by reduction
of the present oppressive taxes. That may
be done in two ways: the taxes may be re-
moved from whisky and tobacco, or from
clothing, &c. BY removing the tax from
whisky and tobacco only small number of
people will be benefited, while reduction
of the tariff rates on clothing, shoes, blank
cts, &c, will benefit every American citi-
zen,
BY all means let the first duty of the next
Congress be to reduce the taxes.

AS soon as the good Bishop got the difficulty
well in hand and learned the ultimatum of
the refractory diggers-'' discharge the two
old servants or no grayes"--he sent for the
men one by one and put the question to
them would they go to works and they al
said no. So the Bishop discharged every

their places, and the next morning the

Saturday morning. His store was closed
by his creditors.
1t is now found that he is q forger TO q
large amount by his own confession to
bis victim, who was giving him financial
aid. jacob L. Dewitt, partner of Post
master Gillespie in the grocery business,
had indorsed business paper for him on
Frances Newkirk, his wife, TO the
amount Of about 528, COO. Finding this
insufficient the young tobacco man con
tlnued making similar notes attaching the
endorsement OF Mr., Dewitt himself,
without troubling that gentlemen for mis-
autograph. When these notes in the
state OF New York bank reached So 600
the clerks Became suspicious and submit
ted the signature TO the president, but he
considered it genuine and subsequent
paper was discounted for him, the whole
amounting TO S2S, $50 before Mr.. Dewitt
was epprised of the matter. DeWitt's
debt is thought TO be secure, but the
bank must lose considerably. NeWkirk
has sbsCOnded.
